Biotin

Many of my symptoms continue to lead me down a path to make an effort to rule out candidiasis.

I decided to take a break from the abx and to focus on diet, natural antifungals, and supplements to explore a candida connection.

For antifungals I have been utilizing oregano oil and coconut oil.

For supplements, I have been taking vitamin C, omega 3's, probiotics and I began taking biotin 2 days ago.

There seems to be a noticeable difference since I began taking the biotin....

I am considering the addition of molybdenum and pantethine to enhance detoxification.

I realize candida often co- exists with lyme issues and presents itself with similar symptoms so I wanted to see if anyone else has explored biotin for a teatment option.

Thanks

Biotin is normally produced by bacteria in the GI tract. If you have a severe dysbiosis, then you may not be making enough or may not be absorbing the biotin that you are eating. Biotin is a substrate for multiple reactions in the body. If you are struggling with your health like many of us, than you are most likely deficient of vital ingredients to proper health. Biotin could be one of them, molybdenum, manganese, lithium, magnesium, boron, selenium, and there are many more that you may be deficient of.

I'm a math guy so I think of it in math terms. 2 + 2 = 4. You have to add 2 plus 2 to get 4 where four is proper health. What if your body works just like this. You have the first 2, but you are missing the second 2 and therefore you will not get 4. That second two that you are missing is nutrients, or substrates, or vitamins, or enzymes, it's something tangible.

As for natural antifungals, I really like nigella sativa seeds. They taste like oregano and really pack a punch.

Hello,

You are mentioning large dose of biotin can have benefits..what dosage are you talking about? For how long?
